It explores the observational consequences of the second-order vector mode, and addresses magnetic field generation and the weak lensing signatures, which are key phenomena of the vector mode.

This book focuses on the systematic change in the global economy accompanying the rise of China. In this constellation the two centers of the global economy and financial system, the U.S. and China, would ideally cooperate, and the global economy could benefit from having two economic and financial centers.

This book introduces and illustrates modeling, sensing, and control methods for analyzing, designing, and developing spherical motors.

This book is one of the first of its kind to examine the aspirations of refugee background students and accompanies them as they journey through the on-shore stage of settlement, enrolment and participation in the Australian education system.

The book is a compendium of the aforementioned subclass of models of Basal Ganglia, which presents some the key existent theories of Basal Ganglia function. The book presents computational models of basal ganglia-related disorders, including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and addiction.

This book discusses the security issues in a wide range of wireless devices and systems, such as RFID, Bluetooth, ZigBee, GSM, LTE, and GPS. It is a valuable reference guide for practitioners and researchers who want to learn more about the advanced research findings and use the off-the-shelf tools to explore the wireless world.

This thesis develops and establishes several methods to determine the detailed geometric architecture of transiting exoplanetary systems (planets orbiting around, and periodically passing in front of, stars other than the sun) using high-precision photometric data collected by the Kepler space telescope.

This book goes back to the origins of the transformation of health and medicine into a business, during the first part of the twentieth century, focusing on the example of Japan.

This thesis combines advanced femtosecond laser micro/nanofabrication technologies and frontier bionic design principles to prepare diverse biomimetic micro/nanostructures to realize their functions.

This book addresses two fundamental issues of motor control for both humans and robots: kinematic redundancy and the posture/movement problem.

This book introduces readers to two major sustainable applications of linear synchronous machines: wave energy conversion and magnetic levitation train technology.

This book discusses the experiences of cooperative enterprises in India that have been operated by or influenced to a significant extent by trade unions.

This book is a practical and concise guide to major asset classes, investment strategies, and foreign markets. Written by a practitioner, this volume can serve as course material for introductory investing classes or as an on-the-job guidebook for professionals and practicing investors.

This book provides detailed analysis methods and design guidelines for fire resistance, a vital consideration for offshore processing and production platforms. It creates a basis for designing new courses for students of ocean engineering and naval architecture, civil engineering, and applied mechanics at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

This book formulates the kinematical conservation laws (KCL), analyses them and presents their applications to various problems in physics.

This book focuses on the rapidly changing sociology of music as manifested in Chinese society and Chinese education.

This book presents the latest findings on the subject of combustion optimization based on computational intelligence. It also describes the optimization of combustion parameters using genetic algorithms or ant colony algorithms, an online coal optimization system, etc.

This book provides an overview of crowdsourced data management. By surveying and synthesizing a wide spectrum of studies on crowdsourced data management, the book outlines important factors that need to be considered to improve crowdsourced data management.

This book covers the basic principles and application of nanoindentation technology to determine residual stresses in films and coatings. Subsequently, nanoindentation is used to determine residual stresses in different types of films and coatings, and to describe them in detail.

This monograph examines how higher education(HE) institutions construct 'professional identities' in the classroom, specifically how dominant discourses in institutions frame the social role, requisite skills and character required to practice a profession, and how students navigate these along their academic trajectories.
